The Retired Athlete

I have optimistically started a new category for this blog – poetry. I have a couple of friends who, while not describing themselves as poets, would freely admit that they write poetry. I thought it might be nice to have a little variation around the retirement theme and hence I asked them to write a poem about retirement from a poet’s perspective. Somewhat to my surprise one of them not only agreed(the second one agreed but as yet hasn’t coughed up any poem), but actually sent me a poem he had already written. Here it is written by Doug Sandle.
